Hi all,
Somebody, whose email address I've lost, replied to the above
query saying "Sure it can -- look at network booting".
Unfortunately, that's not very useful to me. If that person
sees this, will you please give me some information on
where to look.
I've scoured the manpages, looked at /etc/{rc*,netstart,sysconfig}
and what not, and can't see any reference to doing this.
To repeat the question: I've a FreeBSD2.1 machine with local
disks, fully configured, etc. but I want this machine to use
BOOTP to acquire its network information, at boot time.
By the way, I don't see how /etc/rc allows for this, as it calls
/etc/netstart (if it exists) which calls ifconfig... Or, is the
trick to delete /etc/netstart?
Mike,
<mike@NetworX.ie>
